Trade 1 of 3
Minnesota Vikings and Buffalo Bills
Minnesota sent Matt Cassel and a 2015 sixth-round pick to Buffalo for a 2015 fifth and a 2016 seventh. The key was what the Vikings did next: they flipped the fifth-rounder, No. 137, to Atlanta for Nos. 146 and 185, selecting Stefon Diggs and Tyrus Thompson. Cassel barely figured into Buffalo's season, while the pick chain helped Minnesota land a franchise-changing receiver.

Miami Dolphins and Minnesota Vikings

Grant became a dangerous return specialist and useful receiver for the Dolphins. Minnesota turned the two incoming choices into Stephen Weatherly plus part of the package used to move up for tight end David Morgan.
